Four Killed in Continued Israeli Attacks
Israeli forces killed four Palestinians, including a three-year-old child, on Monday in a series of attacks targeting displacement tents, civilian shelters, and residential areas across the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources and field reports.
In southern Gaza, Iyad Ahmad al-Rabaiya, aged three, was killed when Israeli naval gunboats fired directly at tents sheltering displaced families in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Yunis. Several others were wounded and transferred to Nasser Medical Complex, which is operating under severe shortages of medicine, electricity, and medical staff.
In the same area, another Palestinian was shot and killed by Israeli forces in a location designated under the ceasefire agreement as outside active military deployment zones.
Drone and Sniper Fire in Northern Gaza
In northern Gaza, Israeli forces killed Yahya Shaaban, 33, after a quadcopter drone opened fire near al-Halabi roundabout in Jabaliya al-Balad. In a separate incident, an Israeli sniper killed another Palestinian in Halaweh camp east of Jabaliya.
An Israeli drone also dropped an explosive device on a school sheltering displaced civilians in Jabaliya al-Balad, seriously wounding several people. Schools across Gaza have increasingly been turned into makeshift shelters after widespread destruction of homes and neighborhoods, placing civilians in overcrowded and dangerous conditions.

Demolitions and Fire Near Yellow Line
Witnesses reported that Israeli military vehicles positioned east of the so-called Yellow Line opened heavy fire toward nearby residential areas east of Khan Yunis. The Yellow Line restricts Palestinian movement across more than half of eastern Gaza, forcing displaced families into shrinking western zones.
Residents also reported Israeli demolition operations targeting buildings and facilities in Rafah and parts of central Gaza. Explosions and sustained gunfire were heard throughout the day, adding to the destruction in areas already devastated by earlier assaults.
Smotrich Issues Ultimatum as Killings Continue
As the attacks unfolded, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced that Hamas would be given a two-month ultimatum to disarm under what he described as US President Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace.”
Smotrich said Israel would not end its war on Gaza “before Hamas is destroyed,” rejecting any military, political, or civilian role for the movement in the enclave. He claimed Israeli forces now control more than half of Gaza and described the second phase of the ceasefire as centered on disarmament.
There was no immediate confirmation from Trump’s so-called Board of Peace regarding Smotrich’s statements. Critics say the body’s structure—granting Trump sweeping powers—amounts to an attempt to bypass international mechanisms and impose political outcomes under military pressure.

Rising Death Toll Despite Ceasefire
According to Gaza health authorities, Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip has killed 71,800 Palestinians and injured more than 171,500 since October 2023. Since the ceasefire took effect in October 2025, at least 526 Palestinians have been killed and more than 1,400 wounded in continued Israeli attacks.
Medical officials say many victims remain trapped under rubble or in areas inaccessible to rescue crews due to ongoing shelling, movement restrictions, and fuel shortages.
Palestinian officials and humanitarian organizations warn that the continued killings, demolitions, and political ultimatums reflect a sustained pattern of Israeli violations that threaten to collapse the ceasefire entirely, while Gaza’s civilian population remains without safe shelter, adequate medical care, or meaningful humanitarian access.

Sniveling, wining, spitting, hysterical empty threats: that’s Smotrich. Minister of Finance – believe it or not – didn’t read about: According to Israeli outlet i24NEWS, economists cautioned that any war with Iran—even if initiated by the US—would disrupt ports and airports, cripple foreign trade, raise shipping and insurance costs, and trigger capital flight. Analysts warned of billions of shekels in losses within days, soaring military spending, falling tax revenues, and potential credit-rating downgrades. “The bill would be Israeli even if the strike were American,” one assessment concluded, reflecting growing unease within Israel’s economic and security establishment.
I hate to burst your bubble, but Israel’s economy is doing extremely well…the shekel has never been stronger, the Israeli stock market is at a record high, Israel has the highest exports per capita in the world, and runs a budget surplus every year.
